Chapter 21
Nexa's Suspicion
Nexa's P.O.V.
"I'm very sorry to do this but, it's how I get paid" the guy says and then snaps his fingers. In each of our groups we were separated inside of cages.
"I knew I should have let him had it" Kyoko screams and Miyako tries to calm her down.
"Bastard, let us out so we can pummel you" Kaoru says gripping the bars so much her knuckles turn white.
"Wait by any chance are you in league with the punks?" I hear Momoko ask in terror and the guy looks shock. I take a closer look at him and he looks really familiar and then I take a deep whiff. He was that guy that Sachiko was talking to and then silently scold myself. I can't use that power both Kyoko and I had agreed not to use our powers it just wasn't fair to the others, so we both locked our other forms up tight so we wouldn't unlock them. But, there's still something up with Sachiko me and Kyoko can't be hiding the only thing.
"No I'm not I work for the battle of the bands, by the way I can't wait to see you in the Colosseum" he says and we're all brought down to the earth.
"What's going on?" Sachiko says her voice trembling and she's rocking back and forth.
"Is she okay?" Naman asks putting his arm around me and I give him a look and he then let's go.
"She's claustrophobic" Blink says and puts his hand on her shoulders and she starts to relax. "You ok now?" he says putting her hair off of her forehead so he could kiss the top and put his hand on her cheek.
"Yes thank you, Blink" she says calming down and takes his hand in hers. They're so lucky being able to look at each other like that with so much love. I admit I'm jealous of them I wish someone could look at me like that and I look over to Naman who looks like he was about to say something but was interrupted.
"Hello, and welcome to the Colosseum. Now let's get you ready" a lady says and takes both Sachiko and I from the guys.
Fifteen minutes later…
"Guys over here" Momoko says waving her hand. Her group was over there and I look for everyone else we all wore warrior outfits and we each held different weapons. I look over to Sachiko who continuously looked into a satchel.
"Let the gladiators out" the announcer says and the gates open. "If you are hit at all you will automatically be out your outfits have a sensor that will know if you are hit."
We all go out I'm able to hit a few people, why I say a few Naman's got it all covered for me. I look over my shoulder and I see Ali who's by that girl from before I run over there.
"Ali" I hear Sachiko yell and I try to look behind but, everything went by too fast but I definitely saw a ball of white light tinted a light purple fly past me.
"What the hell, where'd she go?" The girl screamed I looked back over but, Ali was gone. Don't do it I thought to myself but my instincts started to go to work and I smelt Ali she was there but not visible.
"Butterfly?" Beatle said and he tripped over something it was her that was what happened to her. Whatever Sachiko did it made Ali turn invisible.
"What's going on?" I hear Miyako scream and I looked around everyone seemed to be affected but, us and the ruffs. And suddenly they had all disappeared the ones who had been affected.
"What's going on? Where's Ali?" Mari says.
"I'm over here" Ali says and suddenly Mari poofed like the others.
"What just happened?" Hiroshi asks coming over.
"I think if we touch each other then we poof like the host said we would" Brick says. Only Naman, Blink, Miyako, Hiroshi, Brick, all of Kaoru's group, and I.
"Are we really going to do this? It's not even fair with Ali being well, invisible" Brick points out.
"How did this even happen?" Ali asks.
"Hey do you think you can do other stuff?" Hiroshi says and we all glare at him.
"Ok then ready set go" Kaoru says and tags me.
Kaoru's P.O.V.
"And we have our winners please congratulate them" the announcer says and the audience showers us with applause. Ali was finally able to figure out how to become visible again the way well somehow Beatle found her lips and I'll just leave it at that. "They will be going to the V.I.P.P. (very important princes and princesses) restaurant but, before they do let's get this show on the road" and he then snaps his fingers the colosseum no longer covered in sand but some place as if it came out of a storybook. Did he say restaurant ha, I'm not going not even if they have the most amazing buffet ever no way.
"Come on let's go get ready" Miyako says hooking our arms in hers once we get off the stage.
"Have fun and good luck" Nexa and Kyoko say waving goodbye to us.
"Dress?" I ask as I glare at them as they all nod their head.
"And you get to sing" Miyako says happily, probably 'cause it's all that frilly lacey shit.
"Let's just get this over with" I say with a sigh and start to strip.
"Why? You really want to go on that date that bad?" Mari says and I tackle her.
"Come on guys Kaoru your half-dressed on top of Mari get off before someone gets the wrong impression" Ali says with a sigh and I get off but I give her wait-'til-you-fall-asleep look.
"Oh, yeah how exactly did you turn invisible? And Miyako what's with your screaming it's affecting everyone but us" Momoko says and they both shrug.
"It's not only screaming I run faster now too like light speed. I don't know I just can" Miyako says looking down as she changes.
"Same goes for me, not the speed obviously but umm, look" Ali says and then puts her palms on above the other and between was a lavender colored sphere. "It's like a force field I guess."
"It's probably just new powers coming in. I hope mine is something totally bad-ass so I can get rid of that tick called Butch" I say as I changed into some complicated dress.
"We all know you don't mean that" Momoko teases.
"No I mean it, who the heck am I supposed to be anyways?" I say looking down at my humongous light green gown.
"You're supposed to be the princess from the princess and the frog, Ali's Alice, Momoko is little red riding hood, Mari's Beauty, and I'd Cinderella" she says with a smile as she twirls around.
"Come on little princess let's get out there" Mari says and we all do to the back stage that is I need to practice.
Over on the intercom we heard the other bands play silently. "Now here are our own Punk Princesses playing Pop Pop Bang Bang" the announcer says and I try to, will we all try to block them out but, we were to curious. And I hear Brute's voice begin.
Jack and Jill went up the hill

"Ok we're going to dominate them" I growl and they all nod.
"Next we have the Devil's Order singing After Midnight" the announcer says.

"They were amazing" Mari, Miyako, and Momoko say dreamily and me and Ali give them a weird look.
"Let's get going then, I can't move in this thing" I growl.
"That's why we chose you to sing we don't need the drums but, I'll just do it with my turn tables 'cause I'm not really needed too" Mari says with a smile. I hate this thing stupid poofy frilly dress.
"Next Immature Circus Girls playing fairytale" the announcer says. We get onto the stage and Miyako starts to play.
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No no I don't want the next best thing
"Thank you everyone we will be announcing the one who you will be partnered as the park closes because we encourage you all to stay here until the park closes. Also text us your theme so we have an idea what you're planning."
"Now let's get going" Ali says grabbing my hand.
"You actually want to go on a date with them?" I scream.
"I'm starving aren't you? Kyoko had all the bacon when we invited them for breakfast plus it's like 7 and we only had a sandwich" Ali points out.
"But, I still don't want to" I say and my stomach starts to growl.
"Let's go now" she says with a grin and we go get changed.
1 hours and 30 minutes later…
"That was great" I say with a smile as I take one last bite of my meal.
"Me and Butterfly are going onto the Ferris wheel" Beatle says with a grin and pulls her up.
"You didn't even ask" she mutters.
"Well, do you want to go?" he asks putting his hand out for her.
"Fine, I guess" she says taking his hand and he gives her a peck on the cheek making her blush and I just roll my eyes.
"Why don't we go too, babe?" he asks getting up.
"I'd rather not and please stop with the pet names" I say and he gives me a grin.
"You're right I like Buttercup way better and we're going" he says and then sweeps me off my feet and he carries me toward the Ferris wheel, this punk.
"Let go!" I scream and start to thrash around.
"I don't think so" he says determined to drag me against my free will to it.
"Hey mommy weren't those two the-"
"Let's keep moving sweetie" the mother says ushering her daughter away and that's what finally shushes me and Butch just snickers.
"Here we are" he says putting me inside of the carts,
"Why do you even do this" I say looking outside of the window.
"Well, it's simple really I'm in love with you and Cupid hit me right in the heart pretty hard" he says coming over to sit next to me. He can't be serious right? And then I remember why he must have been in love with me.
"It's my body isn't it? That's what you're in love with" I say. Of course it's the only reason why even some of my best guy friends would drool over me that's why I started to hang out more with the girls. Also the one guy who I actually went out with groped me. Sure he can't use any of his body parts anymore but, he still deserves to die.
"Of course I'm in love with your body" I knew it. "But, I'm also in love with your face, your personality, your stubbornness, I love everything about you Buttercup" he says looking me dead in the eyes to tell me he's telling the absolute truth and starts to lean forward to kiss me. I kissed him back, this is amazing and it feels like I'm in another world. Interrupting us were fireworks going off.
"So would you like to start going out?" he asks cocking an eyebrow.
"Why not" I say and we go back to kissing. What's squeezing my thigh? I smack him and get out of the cart.
"Buttercup!" he shouts at me. "What was that for?"
"You know what it was for" I scowl at him and then it fades away to a smile. "Let's go find the others" I say taking his hand.
